ONCE I MET HAPPINESS
Once when all the Spring was wild,
All the leaves dew-pearled,
Once I met Happiness,
Singing down the world.
All the leaves dew-pearled,
Once I met Happiness,
Singing down the world.
She had laughter on her lips,
Flowers in her hair—
Once I met Happiness—
Oh, she was fair!
Flowers in her hair—
Once I met Happiness—
Oh, she was fair!
There was yellow sun, I know,
Scent o' pine that day,
Once she kissed me on the lips,
Laughed and went her way.
Scent o' pine that day,
Once she kissed me on the lips,
Laughed and went her way.
What if all the lights are dim,
All the flowers furled?
Once I met Happiness,
Singing down the world!
All the flowers furled?
Once I met Happiness,
Singing down the world!
